Jóhann Jóhannsson

So sad to learn that our friend the brilliant composer and artist Jóhann Jóhannsson has passed away. He made so much beautiful music. I hoped we might work together at some point. Sincerest condolences to his family and loved ones. Neil x

My birthday

Hi everyone. Thank you so much for all your very kind birthday wishes. And the 12,000 of you singing Happy Birthday in Mexico City was incredibly moving. We’ve really enjoyed touring the Super show and hopefully we’ll see you again soon. Lots of love, Chris xx (Sorry there’s no picture. I tried taking a “selfie” but it’s just not good enough!)
